Is Footwork worth taking?
B-Tier · Defensive scalingFootwork gives 2 Dexterity, which makes every block card in the deck better for the rest of the run. It is not flashy, but Silent decks that live long enough to stack block usually want at least one.

How to play Footwork
- Play it early in a fight so every later block card benefits. A Footwork played on the last turn is just 1 energy for nothing.
- Take it when your deck already has cheap block. Dexterity multiplies block cards; it does nothing if you have nothing to block with.
- Upgrade it when you have spare campfires. The extra Dexterity is small but permanent, and it adds up over a long run.
Common mistakes
- Taking multiple copies before you have enough block cards. Dexterity without block is just a dead draw.
- Playing it after you have already spent your block cards for the turn.
Cards that work with Footwork
Footwork is a multiplier for cheap block. Backflip and Afterimage both convert the extra Dexterity into real defense without asking for more energy.
Where to get Footwork
Footwork is in the Silent uncommon pool. It can appear in card rewards after combat, in shops, and in events that generate cards. Elites and bosses do not guarantee it, but they usually improve your odds of seeing higher-rarity cards.
